Need copy of NGB-22, Never put into i-PERMS. trying to re-enlist

June 7th, 2012, 01:43 PM

So, I was in the California National Guard and am now in the IRR and have been for 1 year already. I am trying to re-enlist into the Army Reserves. I never received a copy of my NGB-22. The only thing in my i-PERMS is my release orders. I talked to a Retention NCO for the Reserves and they sent me to a Career Counselor. The Career Counselor said that I have to get with my unit to get a new copy of my NGB-22 mailed to me or to have them i-PERM it. I called my unit and asked them about it and they said that because I am in the IRR and no longer in their unit that they can't obtain anything for me anymore because they can only access unit level information about soldiers that are still in the unit. Shouldn't I be a part of an IRR unit and have somebody to contact about this to be able to receive a copy of my NGB-22 or is there some other way to obtain this?

Any information would be amazing! If anyone knows any information that might pertain to my situation any help is much appreciated!

The discharge certificate should be cut by personnel at the state area command (was for me and my NGB-22 states that soldier unavailable to sign). I will give them a call and have copies of your LES. Possibly take a trip over there but since that is the state of CA; I know distance may be a factor.

But you should have been educated to receive these documents when you transferred.

Thank you both for responding to my post... I just don't know where I need to go to contact either one of those places you both mentioned! Yes you are right though, I should have be informed about a lot of things that my unit never told me about. And yes, going anywhere in California will be a huge issue, lol, my husband is active duty and we are currently in Germany so I am somewhat limited on things I can do. Do you possibly have any info for me on how I might get in contact with any of those places to get a copy of the NGB-22?

Thank you!!!!!!

If you called your unit; you can ask them for the number to the State Area Command/Headquarters.

I got what I needed from them. Trustme you will and can get your NGB-22 form from them.

I am not disputing that because I use to get my records from St. Louis. But it is not like she has been out for years and she is currently in the IRR; still in the system. Her paperwork should still be filed at the State Area Command. Trust me, I was 42A for many years.

No you do make a point, before when I mentioned the National Archives I was just adding that onto what she might check out for her records. Hey if she waits long enough she can check ancestry.com
